One man could respond to crises more quickly than a group of men like Congress. It was easier to control the actions of one man than the actions of a group.

Explanation:

Alexander Hamilton, one of the founders of the United States, considered the "father of American industry," dies in New York on July 12, 1804, at the age of 47. One of the leaders of the federalist current in the years following independence became a fervent advocate of the country's rapid industrialization and strengthening of central power.

About the existence of centralized power, Hamilton saw no danger in leaving all power in the hands of a single man. For Hamilton, power should be centralized because a man could respond to crises faster than a group of men like Congress, and it was easier to control a man's actions than a group's.
